Hi - this is my first posting but just wanted to let everyone know that as a result of a 5 minute phone call to Halifax this afternoon they have promised to send a £100 cheque within 28 days. The mortgage I took out in 2001 stated £75 fee but when I moved to First Active in 2005 I was charged £175. All I needed to do was give them my roll/account number and they had all the dates and fees to hand - I am over the moon with this unexpected windfall. Cheers Martin - keep up the excellent work!!! :beer:

Hi, Well after seeing this on GMTV yesterday, I thought I'd give this a go, I remortgaged last year and was charged by The Woolwich £275, so rang them this morning on the number given on this site, hey presto there was a man already waiting to give me back my money!!! Well not all, he said I had to pay £150 which was the charge stated at the time, but I will get the difference of £125 + interest back into my account within the next 3-5 working days.........pushing my luck a bit I asked him to check if I had been charged in 2004 when I cleared the Barclays Mortgage for the Woolwich one, apparently then I hadn't been charged as they are both the same company, well it was worth asking eh, you just never know with these banks.......think I'll dig out the paper-work all the same!!! Good luck to everyone else, and thanks Martin and everyone for all your tips, and help xxx

Love u Martin Lewis!!!!! Two minute phone call to the Halifax and I'm getting £135 back!!! If you add that to the £2080 I got back in council tax!!!! EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!:j
